[[Category:Tournaments]][[Category:Annual Tournaments]][[CMLL]] ([[Mexico City]]) occasionally holds a tournament to highlight promising young wrestlers, called the Gran Alterntiva tournament. The tournament creates 8 or 16 teams of undercard wrestlers with higher profile legends who match them in tecnico/rudo stytle but usually don't team together. The teams meet in a typical single elimination single fall tournament over one or two shows. The winning young wrestler typically gets a reward of being spotlighted in some extra way.

As far as I've been able to find, these are the past Gran Alterntiva Tournaments.

== 2020 (phantom tournament) ==
 
CMLL did not present an official Gran Alternativa in 2020. However, information on social media indicated a tournament featuring young wrestlers was taped during the massive weekly empty arena recording sessions. Nothing from the tournament is known to have aired and it's unclear if it was meant to be a recognized Gran Alternativa tournament. [[Yago]] is believed to have won but is not officially recognized as a winner as CMLL never acknowledged the matches as occurring.
 
==2021==
[[El Coyote (DF, 2013) | El Coyote]] and [[Euforia]] won the tournament on December 25th, 2021 by defeating [[Atlantis Jr.]] and [[Sangre Imperial]] in the finals.

Latest revision as of 07:41, 7 February 2024

CMLL (Mexico City) occasionally holds a tournament to highlight promising young wrestlers, called the Gran Alterntiva tournament. The tournament creates 8 or 16 teams of undercard wrestlers with higher profile legends who match them in tecnico/rudo stytle but usually don't team together. The teams meet in a typical single elimination single fall tournament over one or two shows. The winning young wrestler typically gets a reward of being spotlighted in some extra way.

Two separate tournaments this year.

The first happened on June 7.

   Bestia Salvaje & Chicago Express W

   Apolo Dantes & Rey Bucanero      


Reward: Chicago Express wrestled in some Arena Mexico semi main events, which led to a NWA LH Title match against El Dandy.

The second tournament started in November. This tournament is different from the ones that followed it, because a qualification round led into the tournament. 20 young wrestlers were split into 4 divisions for round robin matchups. Top two from each division moved on to the normal tag team tournament, only being assigned partners in that stage.

According to this recap, the divisions participants were:

  1. Mascara Magica, Astro Rey Jr., Principe Frankie, Kung Fu Jr., Filoso
  2. Rey Bucanero, Atlantico, Alacran, Ultraman Jr., America
  3. Mr. Niebla, Jaguar, Brandon, Linx, Ultimatum
  4. Olimpico, Karloff Lagarde Jr., Olimpus, Corazon Salvaje, Mano Negra Jr.

Gran Alternativa League, 1996 results.

The tournament itself proceeded like this:

  Quarterfinals Semifinals Finals
                           
   Felino & Astro Rey Jr.      
 Satanico & Karloff Lagarde Jr. W  
   Satanico & Karloff Lagarde Jr.    
   Emilio Charles & Rey Bucanero W  
 Lizmark Jr. & Jaguar  
   Emilio Charles & Rey Bucanero W  
      Emilio Charles & Rey Bucanero W
   Hector Garza & Mr. Niebla  
   Hector Garza & Mr. Niebla W  
 Atlantis & Atlantico    
   Hector Garza & Mr. Niebla W
   Dos Caras & Mascara Magica    
 Rayo de Jalisco & Olimpico  
   Dos Caras & Mascara Magica W    

Reward: Rey got apparently got semi-main in Arena Mexico for this match. Which is fair, since the main event was Santo turning rudo. Rey got a few semimains after.

1998

Emilio Charles Jr. and Tony Rivera beat Bestia Salvaje and Guerrero De La Muerte to win the tournament on 7/14/98, en route to building up hair/hair matches for the younger rivals, which Tony won.

1999

There were actually two tournaments held in the '99 year, though the last one was late enough in the year to almost considered in the 2000 version.

According to the this recap, the first tournament on 04/02/99 went like this. 


Blue Panther/Ultimo Guerrero-----
                                 |Panther/Ultimo---
Fuerza Guerrera/Rey Bucanero-----                  |
                                                   |Panther/Ultimo---
Emilio Charles Jr./Tony Rivera---                  |                 |
                                 |Emilio/Tony------                  |
Satanico/Violencia---------------                                    |
                                                                     |Blue Panther
Mr. Niebla/Atlantico-------------                                    |Ultimo Guerrero
                                 |Niebla/Atlantico-                  |
Felino/Starman-------------------                  |                 |
                                                   |Niebla/Atlantico-
Shocker/Astro Rey Jr.------------                  |
                                 |Shocker/Astro----
Apolo Dantes/Karloff Lagarde Jr.-

Reward: Blue Panther was enthused with the victory and talked about Ultimo joining his Panther/Black Warrior/Dr. Wagner faction. Ultimo Guerrero's reward was three weeks in a row in the main event of Arena Coliseo. The first two weeks were Giant Silva handicap matches. The third was a Wagner/Scorpio/Ultimo vs Negro/Niebla/Tinieblas Jr. of no particular merit to Ultimo

Some articles about Ultimo's win here imply Ultimo gets a NWA Middleweight Championship the third week, but I believe that came from an unrelated cibernetico. One could say he rode the wave of one tournament success to win another, but they weren't directly related.

(Additional info from Satanico's Ultimo Guerrero bio, and La Esquina del Dolor))

The second tournament was on 12/17/99. 

Ringo Mendoza/Ricky Marvin-----
                               |Ringo/Ricky---

Felino/Tigre Blanco------------               |              |
                               |Felino/Tigre--               |
Mascara Ano 2000/Sangre Azteca-                              |
                                                             |Felino
Scorpio Jr./Fugaz--------------                              |Tigre Blanco
                               |Scorpio/Fugaz-               |
Lizmark Jr./Sombra de Plata----               |              |
                                              |Scorpio/Fugaz-

(CANZ also recapped this show and arguably had a better grip on what was going on. The tape of this also at WHV.)

Reward: Psicodelico Jr. got a semi-main in Arena Mexico.

2003

Villano IV and Alan Stone b Mascara Ano 2000 and Sagrado on 01.01, in Arena Coliseo. This had previously been listed with the other team listed as the winners, but CMLL published a list of winners in 2009, including Villano 4 and Alan Stone as winners

Other teams listed in the tournament:

Individual results have not been found. Volador Jr. was later pictured in the tournament, so he replaced one of the novatos.

Reward: Again, I'm not sure. Nothing in particular.

Sangre Azteca was originally scheduled for the tournament, but was replaced when CMLL remembered he was supposed to be in the 2006 NJPW Super Junior Tournament, happening at the same time.

2007

2007

The tournament took place on June 29. After CMLL loaded up on long time midcard wrestlers the previous year, this year started a new policy of wrestlers only wrestling as novatos once.

Villano V & Super Comando--------

Shocker was originally announced as Valiente's partner, but was replaced in the days before the show by Dos Caras Jr.

The finalists rematched in a trios match the following week. With the exception of Super Comando, all the young partners received extra attention after the tournament. Sombra jumped to stellar and semimain events in most CMLL shows and Valiente jumped to semi and especial matches. Purpura, Stuka, Flash and Euforia became regulars in 2nd matches, rising to especial level in Arena Coliseo DF matches. Super Nova seemed to be rising to a similar level before leaving the country to turn with NWE.

This year's tournament was held on July 18 in Arena Mexico.

2020 (phantom tournament)

CMLL did not present an official Gran Alternativa in 2020. However, information on social media indicated a tournament featuring young wrestlers was taped during the massive weekly empty arena recording sessions. Nothing from the tournament is known to have aired and it's unclear if it was meant to be a recognized Gran Alternativa tournament. Yago is believed to have won but is not officially recognized as a winner as CMLL never acknowledged the matches as occurring.

2021

El Coyote and Euforia won the tournament on December 25th, 2021 by defeating Atlantis Jr. and Sangre Imperial in the finals.
